ILLINOIS JUDGES ASSOCIATION

The Illinois Judges Association consists of over 1250 current and retired judges. The Association supports judicial excellence and professional development and judicial education, fosters public confidence in an independent judiciary, works to preserve the independence of the judiciary by educating the public and students, and promotes a diverse judiciary that administers justice in a fair and impartial court system. The Association aids judges and the general public by giving them access to summaries of new cases filed by the Illinois Supreme and Appellate Courts on the day they are filed. The summaries can be accessed by clicking on this link - Illinois Court Reports.
